Sorry , it's a GAMMA RAY  , getting to old for this, Serpent is almost done 

 

I done my best to get this correct and with detail.

So many make overs have lost there detail work

Will repost with some pulls, still have to cast the resin plug.

Love the detail, 

[Gene/ZR1]

Love the detail, Between you and me its a Gamma Ray

Is it?  dang, got to much going on and lost my memory pills, let me fix that 

[MattD]

Don't let it go to your head, but you are an artist with this stuff!

[Martin]

We are with you 100%. and I hate the fact you cannot edit the title. I have wanted to edit that at times myself.

I would like to know what tool is used to cut those sharp clean lines?

Weren't the Classic thingies iconic?

[Bill from NH]

I would think one of the mods would edit it if you asked. If cheater was home, he could do it too.

[Jairus]

I think Pablo can make the change.  Send him a note Gene.

[Pablo]

I cannot, as I'm no longer an Administrator.

A simple PM to Cheater with a link to the thread you want changed will fix it.

As for line tools, I make most of my tools, brass, steel, piano wire ect. For straight lines I make flexible 0.005 plastic straight edges as a scribe edge template, and curved ones. It all boils down to style, everyone does it there way. Different tools for different mold materials.

Why change it now, it's become charming!

Thanks Gene for sharing. I would like to see some progress pics of the Serpent, This led me to thinking if you can't make the title fit the project you could make the project fit the title  

[Gene/ZR1]

This is what this Gamma Ray mold was made from, many hours and generations, sometimes it's hard to complete the task, twisted, warped, but it's done.

I don't care what you call them, I want a few!!

[Martin]

How did you do that, I mean how do you hold the body straight enough to back pour a mold?

Gene, do you still make the dart with the closed canopy, if so what's it called?  I wish that I had waited for your Gamma Ray bod, the one I paid 25usd for doesn't have the fine details shown here!  Gonna have to order a few, good job!

It's called  "Large Dart with closed canopy"

 

Yes I still make  this body.

Let's pull some bodies first and see how they turn out.

 

Victor to me will always be the "King of the hill", amazing skills and his details is my finish target.

 

regards gene

[Maximo]

Gene,

Of course I agree with your opinion about Victor.

He is an incredible guy who happens to make great slot car bodies.

I have great respect for him always.
